I https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-living-my-life#toc44 was busy preparing the new drama course I had promised to deliver in Chicago and a series of lectures on the #war (WW1). Three months had passed since its outbreak in Europe. Outside of Mother Earth and our anti-militarist campaign in New York I had not been able to raise my voice in the West against the slaughter, except on one occasion, in Butte, when I had spoken from an automobile to a large crowd and denounced the criminal stupidity of war. I felt that but for the socialist betrayal of their ideals, the great catastrophe would have been impossible. In Germany the party counted twelve million adherents. What a power to prevent the declaration of hostilities!

The socialists of the other countries, with certain notable exceptions, had followed their example. No wonder, for the German social democracy had for decades been the pride and inspiration of the socialists throughout the world.
$50 AI Model Challenges OpenAI’s o1 and Industry Economics
(excerpted from Shelly Palmer email)
#Researchers from Stanford and the University of Washington have #trained an #AI “reasoning” #model for less than $50 in cloud compute credits. Their model, s1, rivals OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek’s R1 in math and coding benchmarks, raising serious questions about AI commoditization.

In comparison w/the #UnitedStates, a relatively small proportion of #police officers in #Britain carry #firearms. They require a special license to do so & are deployed only in limited situations. “Where firearms support is needed, it is carried out by specially #trained & #accredited firearms officers known as authorised firearms officers,” the guidance on the Metropolitan Police’s website states.

1/2 Dear all,
You are cordially invited to join me on Monday, 29 May 2023, along with the team from #Change.org, as we take a closer look at a significant issue that unfolded on Thursday, 30 March 2023.
On that day, I was denied an #Uber ride due to the presence of my #guide #dog, #Brooke, a #trained aid that allows me, a 100% #blind individual, to safely #navigate the world around me.
